Cleaning & Finishing

Cleaning & Finishing

As part of our unwavering dedication to quality, Norwood Medical’s facilities are equipped with the processes, technologies, and trained professionals to ensure that each and every medical device is produced at the highest standards. Here are some of the ways Norwood Medical maintains our high- quality standards with cleaning and finishing processes:

Quality inspection stations
Dedicated manual inspection stations are in place at each of our production facilities. There, employees inspect each part with microscopes and other inspection tools, and are trained to recognize and remove the slightest imperfection or debris. Other stations requiring more sophisticated inspection rely on a combination of computer-based mechanical evaluation and manual measurements to precisely inspect the geometry of each part to ensure its integrity.

Krytox and sodium stearate coating
Krytox and sodium stearate (soap) coatings are used in the finishing process to provide a protective seal on a metallic medical device or component. The process ensures that the resulting coating remains adhered to the metal surface, even under extreme duress or deformation.

Ultrasonic cleaning
Ultrasonic cleaning systems are used to thoroughly remove all traces of contamination that may be adhering to or embedded onto a medical device surface. Possible contaminants include a variety of materials that the component may have been exposed to during the manufacturing process. Ultrasonic cleaning can be used for a wide range of medical device shapes, sizes and materials.

Passivation
Norwood Medical performs passivation as a surface-finishing process on stainless steel components. Norwood Medical’s passivation process is a natural, environmentally friendly method to remove tiny particles and make them resistant to future corrosion.

Cleanroom assembly and packaging
Norwood Medical is equipped with ISO Class 7 (10,000) cleanrooms to perform assembly and packaging without any environmental contaminations. Maintaining the highest medical device standards for our customers is our greatest commitment, and Norwood Medical’s cleanroom service is one of the many ways we accomplish this goal.
